Wherever a wearer of an Al llKader fes is seen, the praise of Port land and its wonderful 1920 Shrine iehow is shouted. Portland delegates J have been swamped with invitations luncheons, banquets . ana oiner Everybody in fcnrineaom to show the roruana to .Jfetes. ! delegation how: he appreciates the treatment accorded a year ago. 1 Portland headquarters, located in jthe Fort Des Moines hotel, will be .pened tomorrow morning With A.

At his sug gestion, made at a lunchean given by j Islam temple, a collection was taken. : Although there were not more than 20 ; Shriners present at the luncheon, $165 I was collected. Then Jim Dougherty Jot Aloha temple, Honolulu, obtained - : . Dntantofa lira n t H tit guiu pici-v IIVHI i " which he sold for 8200 at auction ! Islam temple was the highest bidder.

( In this - connection, 810,000. was j turned over to the flood sufferers (by El Jebel temple of Denver. This amount had been appropriated by ! the temple to defray expenses of ' transporting its band and patrol to . the lies 'Moines convention, but in stead the band and patrol remained ' at home and the money was turned over to the reyef committee. I The issue of the present conclave, , .which is certain to be the most serious . of any meeting in the history of ! Shrlnedom despite the intense heat ! will be the hospital project, which 1 had its birth at'the Portland conven tion;- W. Freeland Kendrick, im- perial potentate in 1920, who for 15 , years has been potentate of Lulu j temple, is the founder of the crip I pled children's hospital project. The i committee appointed by Ellis Lewis ' Garretson.! Imperial potentate, has j recommended Uie purchase of a site j in St. Louis for the central hospital located adjacent to the Barnes hos- f vital of Washington university. I It is proposed by the com.n'tte that the- Shrine also establish six I junior . hospitals, one in the north west, one In the northeast, one in the southwest, .one in the southeast and two in Canada. " Research Work Planned. In the central hospital, so-called spectacular cases would be handled. Not only is it proposed to transform crippled, h e 1 p 1 e s s children into healthy, useful children, but also to conduct research work in orthopedio surgery which will be beneficial to the orthopedic surgeons throughout the world. It is satri that so little is now known as yet about orthopedic :! ourgery, that in the interest of ths ! thousands off crippled children not only in the United States, but in the ; world, it is necessary that some in stitution be established where thn ! proper educational work can be ear . ,-ried on. Opposed to the plan of a central and junior hospital is none other "Than -Ellis Lewis Garretson. Im- Pial potentate. Mr. Garretson be- TTeVes that better results cin he oh. -tained if the Shriiers endow beds . in existing institutions throughout North America. These views will be he real issue of the convention .which .opens tomorrow. Regardless ef. who wins it is certain the mobility of North America will work its plans so that thousands of ie!pless little waifs will gain a new :i.-)ise on life and " instead of being Jlltle subjects of charity, will become i3bstantial citizens.

'As the itoosevelt highway mav be located in this section, o have the road travel through a da nuded country does not sound we:l to the highway commission. Com missioner Yeon suggested that tne officials of Coos county be consulted with respect to the area to be logged off and the cost per thousand feet, for. if it is possible, the highway commission ,ijvants the cedars left standing, at least for a decent dept on each side of the road. In line with the protection ot high ways, the commission planned taking up with the district attorneys in every county the enforcement of the law regulating the weight, load and speed of motor trucks. The commissioners cited instances of what the truck operators are doing and the officials are determined that the law shall be comDlied with. Another h nuance which must be eliminated Is the habit of people encroaching on the right-of-way of the highway by parking wood piles and similar material where they not only- infringe on tne taw but also present a, risk to traffic. . Hlakway Location Settled. , Location of the John Day highway east of Prairie City will be made as soon as Engineer ftunn can return from visitine that section this week and an examination can be made of the recommendation of C. C. Kelly, assistant state highway engineer. Thn commission was prepared to make the location yesterday after noon but postponed action when the report was found to be at the high av riffle, at Salem. When the location is made the Grant county court wants five miles of work contracted and when this .is done the county will Duua its n laterals on" that section. The com mission will advertise for improve ment the John Day highway section frf.m Valades ranch to the Graat county line. The county voted J3B0, 000 for the highway a week ago. The series of overhead crossings on the Old Oregon Trail, in eastern Ore gon, may . be Indefinitely postponed, although, the commission has re ceived bids and is ready to make awards. The trouble rests In. the fact that the highway commission is not satisfied with, the allotment of costs between the state, the counties and the railrotd. Rehearing; to Be Asked. A motion was made yesterday to ask for a rehearing by the public service commission and that, unless the latter commission makes an al lotment which the state highway.com mission believes isiJUst. the over heads will not be built, at least not this year. Readvertisement of the Nestucca bridge, in Tillamoook county, was ordered. The bonding company which backed the original contractor re-' fusea to finish the Job. The highway commission has agreed that this par ticular bonding company will never be accepted as surety again unless the present" dispute is adjusted in a manner satisfactory to the state.

AccorBlng to the officers who ques tioned Mrs. Colavito, her statement, In part, reads as follows: "It was on the Wednesday before the murder that we went to Inspect the K,ater home, learn the arrange ment of the. rooms and' find out where Kaber slept. Two men known as Sam -and Tony, who were to do the work, were with me. , ... .-Whaq -we reached the home jthat eveninp we were taken through the halls . and rooms. To help deaden the noise made, as we i tramped through the house. Marian McArdle kept playing a. piano. The two men were shown the door to Kaber's room. . '"It was arranged that the back door was to be open and Mrs. Bricke) w4s to 'be on the porch at 10 o'clock the next night as a signal that all was well. . "The murder was to take place the next night, Thursday. On Friday morning I received a call from the two men. They said they had been at the Kaber home- the night before, but had found the back door locked and no woman on the porch. "I called the Kaber home on the telephone and Marian McArdle, the daughter, answered that she could not discuss the matter over' the tele phone, but asked me to meet her with th two men. That afternoon, Friday, Marian, Tony, Sam and I met on a street corner in the east end. "Marian said: 'Come out tonight and you'll find everything ready.' "We then discussed new plans. It ! was then decided that the men were to hide and that Marian was to make the rounds upstairs. When every thing was ready and the house quiet she was to drop some water from an upstairs window so that. It would strike the ground near a casement. "The next morning I read of the murder in the newspapers." Action ihy Senate - on - Demand Is Delayed; Veterans Declared Insulted by Ambassador.' .V. - '' ' WASHINGTON',. D. C, June 13.

' "There will be general sympathy In this country. for Admiral Sims, that breexy sailor and inveterate friend of Great Britain, who once more has got into hot water in the United States for his plain speaking about Anglo- American relations. .- . . It would be unfortunate if the action taken regarding Admiral Sims were con strued into evidence of a definite at titude .on the part of the American government toward the Irish question." "In speaking as he did," the news paper, continued. the .mass of the British people recognize that Sims had the best 'Interests of the two countries at heart. He has seen the danger with which the Irish-American rancor threatens their friendship and while fighting it openly in Amer ica he has endeavored to explain Its significance here. The storm his ut terances raised in his own cvuntry shows the-reality of the danger. "It would- b no real help to the cause of Anglo-Americaa- friendship to pretend to ignore the existence o a strong "Irish-German party In the republic, whose burning desire is to embroil the two nations."
